New Delhi: The Income Tax Department is recording the statement of Robert Vadra, the son-in-law of Congress Party's interim chairperson Sonia Gandhi, and the husband of the party's national general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, in the disproportionate assets case. Let me tell you that a few months ago Robert Vadra was constantly being called for the Enforcement Directorate (ED) office for questioning. During that time, the ED even told the Delhi High Court that Robert Vadra needs to be interrogated for custody.

The investigating agency had argued that 'he is directly related to the links of money transactions. The ED had accused Vadra of not cooperating in the investigation of the money laundering case against him. Vadra's counsel, however, dismissed the ED's claims, stating that whenever the agency called his client, he appeared before him and had fully cooperated in the investigation. The lawyer had also said that the questions that the ED posed were answered by his client and not accepting the allegations leveled against him does not mean that he is not cooperating.

The lower court had granted anticipatory bail to Vadra, which was challenged by the ED in the High Court. Vadra is accused of money laundering in the purchase of property worth Rs 17 crore at 12, Bryanston Square, London.
